This week our guest is Dr Veronica Grant , a Derbyshire GP and RCGP Veterans Champion. She joins Nik to talk about the BBC drama 'Danny Boy' and how actively serving in the military or being a veteran can impact on both our patients and their families. 
We also have the usual look at the medical news headlines and the week in daytime TV.
